Role of oxidative stress versus lipids in monocrotaline‐induced pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure

Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a global health issue with a prevalence of 10% in ages >65 years. Right heart failure (RHF) is the main cause of death in PH. We have previously shown that monocrotaline (MCT)‐induced PH and RHF are due to an increase in oxidative stress. In this study, pro...
